  1. Why? Because it doesn’t fit your narrative? For 10-12 years, the national and world championships sell out. You change the rules and it doesn’t sell out, by a large margin. To me, that’s about as good a barometer as possible. Cause and effect.
  2. Just like every other rule change made in the last ten years “to get people to try it”, thinking dropping the rifle power factor will get anyone to try it is just bull produced fertilizer. What it did do and will continue to do is drive dedicated shooters away. Just look at EOT 2024. What was it down? 50-60 shooters? EOT sold out last year at 175ish. This year there were just over 100 shooters. As I’ve stated many, many times, the same complainers will continue to complain and NOT shoot. The one big complainer over on the cowboy wire already said he still won’t shoot because he can’t have an ambi safety on his Traditional gun. He was also that said years ago he would shoot when he could load 7 in the mag. Guess what? He still don’t shoot it. And won’t. He’ll just keep whining. I’m not sure why he wanted seven in the magazine. He can’t count to five in his revolvers. How does he expect to count to seven in his magazines?
  3. Any one that shoots a 10# recoil spring with even a 150PF is inviting trouble. Broken firing pin springs, frame, slide and barrel battering, short spring life.
  4. I make and sell a couple weighted follower options.
  5. Personally, I wouldn’t go to 20”. That feels too short and muzzle light to me. I like 22 at least. And even then I put weight in the magazine:
  6. It wasn’t removed because as Happy Jack said, it’s never been legal.
  7. Personally, I prefer to use what the man who developed and patented it called it. Thomas Crossly Johnson called it the cartridge cutoff. But what did he know?
  8. Deacon, no link yet. PM me a number I can text or an email and I’ll send info. Thanks!
  9. As long as it’s not a 3” Duck gun, I’ve not had a problem with anything 2 3/4” in mine and the ones I’ve built. some people will tell you need a shell guide on the carrier but I’ve only found them to be rarely needed. Some self proclaimed experts will tell you need to lean to gun over to the left to make them feed. You don’t. A plug for my firing pin here. It does make the gun work smoother, more reliable and unlike other replacement firing pins on the market, you can dry fire it until your arms wear out and not break it.
  10. The minutes conclude that a safety check will make malfunction clearing(MC) safer. Has no one thought that through? Fireball, no, they haven’t…. Most of the current rule makers never could shoot Wild Bunch, for one excuse or another. And while it’s not hard to have a weigh in at one stage, during a match. You are correct. It’s not hard to catch weighted magazines during a match. I’ve caught people trying to run weighted magazines. Typically, it was either a shooter from another sport …
  11. Those whiners will never shoot it but they are the ones that have caused the s@&tshow it is now. They’re the ones that said they would shoot when we went to 7 in the mag, when we went to tactical reloads, when we puts base pads on. And every time we tried to accommodate them, they just come up with another reason not to shoot.
  12. I know a guy.
  13. These are stock Uberti take out parts.
  14. These are all slightly used but in great shape. $60 a set shipped
  15. Somehow it got my reflection in there.
  16. This was a magazine ad when the movie came out. It’s very heavy and measures 16”x24”. I can ship it but it would not be cheap to ship. $100 plus shipping
  17. Screw in choke, Limbsaver pad, big bead. Barrel cut to 18 1/4”. D series made in 1905. Has been parkerized. It does hold 6. Has Wild Bodie Tom spring and follower. $750 shipped to your FFL.
  18. Actually, it is Artemus. Lots of testing has been done in the past on .38/.357 rifles to make power factor. The toggle link rifles don’t hold up to the pressure. Reach out to Evil Roy. He spent a lot of time and money on it.
  19. Stainless or blued standard thickness or thin grips. All available in slotted head some in hex. $15 a set shipped

  21. I would try to reach around 725-730 FPS just to be safe at all altitudes.
  22. Also, now that the rules have been bastardized, doubles, 1887s and single shots are legal.
  23. Made by Slickbald Customs $75 shipped
  24. Thank you, sir! I’ll pass along the congratulations!
